I can't see Strategy plots and indicators in Chart

[svitaz]

Hello,

I have created a new STRATEGY and added:

1.) Plot using - AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red,1), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot1"); in state State.SetDefaults
2.) I also added an indicator using - AddChartIndicator(ATR(60)); in state State.DataLoaded

Now, when I run the strategy analyzer, I can see both the plot and ATR indicator in the chart.
However, when I add the strategy into a chart using New -> Chart and then adding a strategy, I cannot see the indicator nor the plot.

Is this expected behavior? Is there any way how to visualize the strategy without running the strategy analyzer?

With Regards,
Martin

Hello svitaz,

Is the strategy enabled on the chart?
(Does the strategy show with the Enabled checkbox checked on the Strategies tab of the Control Center?)

You are right indeed! The strategy was not enabled. When it is, plot and indicator will show up.

One more question though. Is it possible for a strategy to display the plot in a separate panel or does the plot need to be always in a price panel? I can't figure out how to display the plot in a separate panel...

Hello Martin,

The indicator will do the plotting. The plots of an indicator must be in the same panel of the indicator.

The Strategy can put an indicator in a different panel.

Below is a link to an example.
